Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 290 Golden-Winged Thunder Roc
Chen Beiwu didn't expose it, pretending not to know that a demon king was watching from all sides.

He walked to the bluestone by the stream, flipped his hand, took out a fishing rod from his storage ring, cast it forward without hook or bait.

"Boom!"

The moment the ripples appeared, Chen Beiwu's sleeves fell down, his fishing rod was stuck diagonally into the bank, and he closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those willing to take the bait.

Now that he has successfully planned and demonstrated sufficient qualifications and talent in the Yuqing Mountains to gain the initiative, there is no need to rush.

After all, the Five Qi Vine is ever-changing, and it would be too difficult to find it by force. It would be better to make some noise in the Jade Purity Mountains and attract the former to come to us.

Soon, an hour passed.

As the sunlight shifts, colorful clouds appear on the clouds.

Chen Beiwu remained seated, his fishing rod angled, without bait, as he meditated on the immortal techniques.

"What is he doing?"

Upon seeing this, a burly demon king with two horns on his head asked in bewilderment.

This wasn't the first time Yuqing Mountain had opened to the public; every so often, it would see a swarm of immortal sect prodigies flocking in.

To prevent their desired companion beast from being snatched away by others, these immortal sect prodigies would even disregard kinship and eliminate their opponents in advance through battles.

How could this young prodigy be so carefree, not seeking out rare and precious treasures or rare beasts, but simply finding a secluded spot by a stream to fish, as if he were here for sightseeing?

"Let's go fishing," said Demon Queen Zi Yao with a charming smile.

interesting.

If she wasn't mistaken, the other party had most likely already discovered the existence of the demon kings of Yuqing Mountain and wanted to wait for the right price to come in and gain the upper hand.

Thunder Roc Demon King's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Chen Beiwu's reaction was barely perceptible, it did not escape his notice.

The only thing that puzzled Thunder Roc Demon King was how a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator could discover their existence so quietly.

Yes, that's right. In the eyes of all the demon kings, Chen Beiwu was a genuine Golden Core cultivator. Not a single demon king thought he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Just then, two streaks of light swept across the sky above the stream, then quickly turned back and fell back down.

"Chen Beiwu, are you... fishing?"

Shen Yuanbao was slightly taken aback, his tone surprised.

"Hmm," Chen Beiwu said calmly.

Shen Yuanbao scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that there was no trace of the Five Qi Vine. He felt relieved and did not ask any further questions. Instead, he exchanged a few polite words and left.

For Shen Yuanbao, Chen Beiwu's decision to give up was undoubtedly the best outcome.

But what he feared was that Chen Beiwu had other plans and had found a way to contract the Five Qi Vine.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao, who was traveling with Shen Yuanbao, looked at Chen Beiwu curiously a few more times, seemingly not understanding why the latter would choose to be a fisherman at such a crucial moment when many immortal sect prodigies were vying for opportunities.

'That's a normal reaction.'

Watching the two streaks of light disappear in an instant, the Thunder Roc Demon King thought to himself.

Even among the four realm demon kings, he is one of the top. If he deliberately conceals his aura, even a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance who has just entered the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm cannot detect it.

However, he could also understand that some of the most outstanding talents in the Immortal Alliance could reach unimaginable levels of spiritual perception.

The more outstanding Chen Beiwu's performance is, the higher Lei Peng Demon King's evaluation of him becomes, and the more he values ​​him.

Wait, that’s not right!
Thunder Peng Demon King's heart stirred, and his gaze towards Chen Beiwu changed slightly as he suddenly remembered the legendary Golden Core.

Could it be that Chen Beiwu hasn't formed his core yet...?
Thinking of this possibility, Demon King Lei Peng looked around and found that none of the other demon kings made any move, unwilling to be the first to take the lead.

He couldn't help but smile contemptuously and called out his own son.

"Go."

"Violent!"

As a deafening cry shattered the heavens, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his attention drawn to the golden-winged roc that had suddenly appeared in the sky above.

This beast is about the size of a hawk, with a tuft of purple-gold crest feathers on its head, and its entire body is covered in golden feathers. Fine lightning crackles at the tips of its outstretched wings, occasionally bursting out with sparks of fire, making it look exceptionally majestic.

However, what Chen Beiwu cared about most was its pure golden round eyes and the three purple-gold tail feathers behind it.

[Name]: Golden-Winged Thunder Roc
[Attribute]: Lightning, Wood
[Bloodline]: Fourth-tier Supreme Grade (Celestial Mystic Beast)
[Cultivation Level]: ? ? ?

[Mysterious Techniques]: Thunderous Golden Eyes, Golden Wings Thunder Feathers, Heavenly Net Thunder Battle...

Thunderous Golden Eyes: A fourth-tier superior-grade profound technique. The eyes of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to unleash lightning of different attributes, such as Yin lightning, Yang lightning, and Five Elements lightning, to kill enemies.

Golden-Winged Thunder Feathers: A fourth-tier superior-grade profound technique. Each thunder feather can transform into a clone possessing 90% of the original's strength. The clone inherits all profound abilities and can release the thunder feather effect again, creating countless variations.

Tianluo Thunder Battle: A fourth-tier supreme-grade profound technique, a destructive and profound power that can only be activated by the combined efforts of 108 Golden-Winged Thunder Rocs. It can condense thunder into a heavenly net, forming a heavenly net thunder prison that can dissolve the spiritual light of magical treasures, disintegrate physical defenses, and annihilate divine consciousness and primordial spirit.

[Introduction]: The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc has a powerful bloodline, which can be traced back to an ancient exotic species, namely the World-Slaying Roc, whose wingspan is three thousand miles and which feeds on dragons.

However, this beast must lie dormant in the core of a towering thundercloud during its infancy, nourished by heavenly thunder, and its profound abilities remain hidden. Only during its growth period can it possess the domineering thunderous power to summon thunder across thousands of miles and form the Thunder Swamp Kingdom. It is an extremely rare Heavenly Mystic Beast.

Recalling the information about the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine.

His plan was indeed correct; he caught a big catch.

In terms of bloodline prowess, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc is in no way inferior to the Flint Rock Coiled Dragon, a Heavenly Mystic Beast.

Unfortunately, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc could not help him condense the Primordial Golden Core, and was not within the scope of Chen Beiwu's contract.

"Violent!"

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc cub lowered its head slightly, its gaze fixed on Chen Beiwu.

The pure golden round pupils clearly reflected a few traces of 'primordial blue,' which was the manifestation of primordial primordial energy.

This indicates that Chen Beiwu has already achieved some success in cultivating the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique and has a certain hope of forming the Primordial Golden Elixir.

But the young Lei Peng showed no surprise in his eyes; instead, his fighting spirit surged.

When the primordial being is formed, all the breaths from the pores of the body cease, and breathing is redirected to the 360 ​​joints.

Each breath aligns with the primordial number of the Great Expansion, and the body gradually becomes empty, the five internal organs transform into five energies, one perceives oneself as crystal, one attains the image of the primordial beginning, one can form a pure yang primordial infant, and hope to refine emptiness, this is recorded in the ancient book of Yuqing.

Ordinary demon kings couldn't see through this, they only thought that Chen Beiwu had extraordinary comprehension and unparalleled talent, but his father had already seen through everything.

Thinking of this, the young Lei Peng raised his head slightly, his eyes sweeping over the intrigued Zi Yao Demon King.

To be honest, if they hadn't sensed the azure aura emanating from Chen Beiwu, even if the former had high comprehension, his father and the Ziyao Demon King wouldn't have decisively intervened to intercept him, lest they alarm the Fifth Realm Demon Venerable deep within the Jade Purity Mountains, or even the Sixth Realm Demon Saint who had long since retired from worldly affairs.

So what if Chen Beiwu has the potential to form the Primordial Golden Core?

As a celestial beast, it also possesses a sense of pride!

If Chen Beiwu does not have the strength to defeat the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc head-on, then he is not qualified to become its contracted cultivator.

"Boom!" Thunder roared.

As the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc fully spread its wings, its expression became serious, and the entire sky shed its blue canvas, transforming into pitch-black clouds.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc seemed to become a thunder god who controlled the thunder of heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Without introducing himself or exchanging pleasantries, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc immediately took action, transforming into a streak of lightning and rushing towards Chen Beiwu.

Rather than engaging in pointless chatter, it prefers to communicate with Chen Beiwu through decisive and efficient combat.

'What an impatient fellow.' Chen Beiwu smiled, lightly patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and a streak of light flashed out.

His lack of interest in contracting the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc does not mean he has no interest in the Heavenly Mystic Beasts.

The Five Qi Vine is ever-changing, and relying solely on the bait he prepared would hardly be effective. It would be better to use the momentum of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc to demonstrate his strength to the many mystical beasts of Jade Purity Mountain.

In this way, as long as the current generation of Five Qi Vine has ambition and the aspiration to return to its ancestral form and become the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree, it will automatically come to you.

"boom!"

The lightning dissipated in the next instant, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc was forced back a hundred feet, its eyes wide with surprise as it stared at the colossal beast that had suddenly descended before it. It was a strange dragon with three heads, each head holding a palm, exuding a vast and mighty dragon aura that forced the lesser demons on the outskirts of the Jade Purity Mountains to bow their heads and dare not utter a sound.

'What kind of celestial beast is this?'

Sensing this overwhelming power, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc steadied itself, its heart churning with turmoil.

Golden Egg's dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and its gaze toward the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc remained calm.

With just one collision, it knew that the other party was a nobody with only five hundred years of cultivation, whose realm was equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

It had already slain five mid-stage Golden Core demonic beasts in Yunlongze, so what was a mere early-stage Golden Core mystic beast compared to that?

Don't underestimate them and cause an upset.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg and thought to himself.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Golden Egg patted its chest, its eyes showing eagerness.

'The first contracted beast was a rare celestial beast, and a dragon at that!'

The Demon King Zi Yao's eyes first brightened slightly, then darkened as she turned her gaze to the ginseng spirit puppet hidden underground.

This person really did come for the Five Qi Vine!

"This is troublesome!" Thunder Roc Demon King said with a solemn expression.

The alien celestial dragon was already difficult to deal with, and Chen Beiwu's aptitude, comprehension, and strength were all excellent.

With the blessing of the contracted cultivator's magic power, the three-phase dragon could unleash strength far exceeding that of other dragons of the same realm, not to mention the difference in their cultivation levels.

Meanwhile, at the center of the fierce battle between the two beasts.

Sensing the Golden Egg's disdain, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc flew into a rage and immediately revealed its trump card.

"Violent!"

With a long howl, the three life-bound lightning feathers behind the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc suddenly fell off, bursting with dazzling lightning, and transformed into three Thunder Roc clones that were no different from the original body, only slightly inferior in aura.

What shocked the golden egg even more was that the clones created by the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc could raise their heads and let out a long cry, shedding three more thunder feathers to create yet another set of clones.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lightning bolts exploded one after another, and in the blink of an eye, one hundred and eight Thunder Rocs appeared behind the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

Each clone possessed an aura comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stages of the Golden Core realm, surrounding the golden egg and radiating a terrifying pressure.

Golden Egg: '???'

What kind of mystical power is this? How is it any different from cheating?!
Sensing the golden egg's thoughts, Chen Beiwu shook his head speechlessly.

Every mythical beast that can be ranked among the Heavenly Generals is a force to be reckoned with; their strength cannot be simply determined by their cultivation level.

To prevent the golden egg from becoming too big for its britches, it seems we need to let it read more books.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu had a thought and used his divine sense to share information about the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan with the Golden Egg.

"!!!" The golden egg looked surprised.

This is a bit too much.

The 109 Golden-Winged Thunder Rocs before us are just the beginning. The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan even possesses the more powerful fourth-tier supreme-grade profound ability, [Heavenly Net Thunder Battle], which can form combined divine skills!

'Dare to underestimate me? I'll show you the might of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc!'

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's eyes narrowed, and disregarding the consumption of its magical power, it directly connected with all 108 Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clones, simultaneously spreading its wings and raising its head to let out a long cry.

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning surged and connected.

These lightning bolts were not simply intertwined, but rather evolved automatically within the thunderclouds according to the principles of heaven and earth thunder, forming a Heavenly Thunder Prison capable of dissolving the spiritual light of magical treasures, disintegrating physical defenses, and annihilating divine consciousness and primordial spirit.

The moment the Heavenly Thunder Prison descended, a sense of impending death welled up in the Golden Egg's heart.

Its intuition told it that its innate profound and indestructible three-phase power could not withstand the Heavenly Net Thunder Prison, and it needed to choose a dragon head to die in its place in order to block this attack.

As for using the Three Absolute True Qi to break through space and teleport away, the Golden Egg's keen spiritual sense told it that this method would not work and would instead cause it to suffer even more serious injuries.

'It's no match for you, but I'll try to transform it into a weapon.' Chen Beiwu slowly raised his hand and stroked the golden egg's head.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan's exclusive profound technique, [Heavenly Net Thunder Battle], is indeed powerful.

If it were activated by a fourth-level demon king, Chen Beiwu would still be doomed even if he used the Jade Purity Mystic Talisman bestowed upon him by Senior Brother Jiang.

However, at this moment, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc that was activating Xuan Tong was not a fourth-realm demon king, but a third-realm demon general in the growth stage of its bloodline. The Heavenly Net Thunder Battle, which should have been flawless, not only had its power greatly reduced, but also had many flaws that should not exist.

These flaws are difficult to detect during the battle, but they cannot escape Chen Beiwu's Mirror of Guarding.

Even so, the Golden Egg would need to use some tricks to win, so it would be better to win by overwhelming force.

“Fellow Daoist Lei Peng possesses formidable profound abilities; I must deal with him with all my might.”

Chen Beiwu's clear and melodious voice pierced through the rolling thunder and entered the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's mind:
"Please be very careful with this next move, fellow Daoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu made the "Soldier" hand seal with his left hand and drew the "Relief" seal with his right hand. The golden egg guarding him then emitted a three-colored divine light and disappeared into his palm.

"Movement and stillness complement each other, and minds are in sync!"

As Chen Beiwu stretched out his palms, the liquid-flowing three-colored divine light began to transform, turning into a three-pointed, double-edged sword about nine feet and nine inches long, rotating in three phases.

"Zheng!"

The moment the three-pointed double-edged sword was formed, an extremely pure and powerful celestial pressure swept across the heavens and earth like a raging tide, causing the Jade Purity Demon King, who was watching from the sidelines, to change his expression slightly, as he actually sensed a trace of the aura of the celestial dharma form.

Looking at the incomparably powerful three-pointed double-edged sword in front of him, Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment and did not dare to reach out and grasp it.

He feared that the moment he gripped the hilt of the sword, his strength would surge, making it impossible to suppress the nascent core within his dantian, and instead causing it to solidify on the spot.

"go with!"

Chen Beiwu pointed his fingers into a sword shape, aiming it at the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

The three-pointed double-edged sword, imbued with the true essence of the three ultimate techniques, shattered space and violently collided with the Heavenly Thunder Prison that enveloped heaven and earth.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the three-pointed double-edged sword fell, without any stalemate, the Thunder Roc clones responsible for empowering the Heavenly Thunder Battle exploded one after another, as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Pfft."

With his Xuan Tong broken, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and retreating rapidly backward, smashing several boulders in the process.

It immediately collapsed to the ground, losing its ability to continue the fight.

If it weren't for a sudden, inexplicable breeze that partially blocked the blade's momentum, even with the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's formidable physique, it might have fainted on the spot.

"Crack!"

A few seconds later, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc flapped its wings and used its last breath to overturn the boulder that was pressing down on it.

It then carefully groomed itself with its beak, its gaze fixed on Chen Beiwu, its eyes already showing a hint of admiration.

"You are very strong. Can you become my fellow cultivator?" For the first time in his life, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc lowered its proud head.

This is the oldest ceremony of the Lei Peng clan, a ceremony reserved only for the strong.

Upon seeing this, the Thunder Roc Demon King did not stop it; instead, he showed a look of satisfaction.

But the next second, his expression stiffened slightly.

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly and decisively refused the invitation from the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan to participate in the ceremony.
